| Efforts on to weaken Congress in J&K | | | Neha
JAMMU, Dec 1: The health of the state Congress is not good. There are senior leaders who are pulling each other's legs, thus indirectly helping the otherwise unpopular and controversial NC consolidating its hold over the state government.
The situation has climaxed to the point that certain Congress leaders are airing views which are not consistent with the views of the JKPCC president. On the contrary, they are behaving as if they are the spokespersons of the NC whose regime has only added to the woes of the people, including the youth, created anarchical conditions across the state with the extremists once again raising their ugly heads and posing live challenge to the national security and sharpened angularities and differences between the regions.
It needs to be underlined that the NC regime, instead of focusing attention on issues of governance or on democratic and economic issues, is simply indulging in rabble-rousing and widening further the already wide gulf between Kashmir and New Delhi. So much so that it is doing all that it could to paint the Army black and create an environment that helps those out to unsettle things in the state and further the Pakistani agenda. It has been saying the people of Kashmir do not have breathing space because of the presence of the Army in certain areas.
Ironically, the disgruntled elements in the Congress have unleashed a campaign that weakens their own organization and strengthens NC for reasons not really difficult to fathom. The fact is that they are undermining the authority of the JKPCC president by giving the media and through it the people to understand that Congress high command and the NC high command have ironed out the differences and decided to expand the council of ministers in coming January and that the Congress high command has told a particular Congress minister that Omar Abdullah would lead the coalition government for a full term of six years.
It is not for the first time that the said minister dared the JKPCC president. He has been consistently hobnobbing with the NC leaders, especially Omar Abdullah, defending their policies in and outside the cabinet and claiming that he knows more than the JKPCC president knows. Only in the last week of October, this Congress minister (Taj Mohi-ud-Din) had told a local daily that he was in constant touch with the Congress high command, that he could vouch for the fact that there would be no rotational chief minister and that Omar Abdullah had discussed with him the issue of Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) revocation. What he said was inconsistent with the stand of the JKPCC president. The JKPCC did react then and later on and demanded stringent action against the said minister, but with no result.
The bulk of the JKPCC office-bearers and workers are not happy with the said minister and others like him. They are for action against them and for rotational chief minister. Will the Congress high command come up to their expectations? It is not an easy question to answer considering the difficult situation the Congress-led UPA government is in at this point in time. |
